What You Need to Start Lynk-Gel® LED Lash Extensions – Tools, Kit & Training
You probably already have almost everything you need to start using the Lynk-Gel Method. But here’s a few items you might want to pick up to help add the Lynk-Gel Lash service to your existing menu.
If you’re ready to start offering the safest LED lash extensions with the Lynk-Gel® Method, you probably already have most of the tools you need. But there are a few key products and accessories that will make your setup complete — and ensure your clients get the best results possible.
Step One: Get Certified in the Lynk-Gel® Method
We always recommend taking our Certified Lynk-Gel® Training before offering the service. Our training covers:
- LED lash safety and proper use of the device
- Pro tips and troubleshooting
- Advanced techniques to boost retention
- Pricing strategies to increase your income
Certified artists also receive:
- Access to exclusive free training modules
- Discounts on Lynk-Gel® glue
- A spot on our Lash Artist Directory
- Permission to use illumino® logos/trademarks
- Opportunities to become a Lynk-Gel® Ambassador for free products
You can choose from online or in-person training options.
If certification isn’t right for you just yet, you can still purchase the Lynk-Gel® Kit from our website. The kit comes with the online theory course, but without the extra perks of being certified.
Essential Tools for Lynk-Gel® Lashes
1. Power Source (Most Important!)
The Lynk-Gel® Kit does not come with a power source or cable. Using the wrong one can damage your device and void the warranty.
- Voltaic or the Belkin Portable Battery pack – Our top choice, with an “always on” function to prevent your device from turning off mid-service.
- Flexible USB Cables – Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use.
- USB Plug with Hub – Great for stationary setups, but limits mobility.
⚠️ Warning! Do NOT plug the Lynk-Gel Device directly into the wall. The only way we know to safely plug it in without breaking the device is with option 3. If you break your device by connecting the wrong power source, you will need to purchase a new one.
Regardless of whether taking the certified Lynk-Gel Training or you purchase the kit, there are a few items required to purchase to finish off your kit. We want to make sure you have what you need to provide your clients with stress-free lashes. We're going to take a look at what these items are, why you need them, and what our suggestions are and why.
1. Power Banks
Our #1 recommendation is to get the Voltaic power bank. This little power bank has an 'always on' function that ensures that your device will not turn off while you work with it. Other power banks may turn off without the proper setup, but this is the easiest no-stress solution. Any other battery packs not listed on our Amazon list has the potential to break your device, causing it to dim or not turn off and void the warranty.
2. USB Cords
We highly prefer the extreme flexible short USB cables because they're comfortable and lightweight. And you can use this with the Voltaic without any additional setup! We also have other recommended cables on our list. You can choose between any of them. Any other USB cords not on our Amazon list could break your device, causing it to dim or not turn off voiding the warranty.
3. Wall USB Plug with Hub
The last recommended way to use your Lynk-Gel Device is by connecting this wall hub to your device. This doesn't require any additional setup, but it does limit you to working by a wall outlet. However, if you don't plan on moving around and you have a convenient setup, this may be the easiest option for you!
2. The Lynk-Gel® Kit
Your Lynk-Gel® Kit includes:
Included in your Lynk-Gel 4.0 Kit:
- 1x Lynk-Gel Device

- Classic lash extensions

It does not work with EZ fan (“pop”) lashes. If you make your own handmade volume fans, the Lynk-Gel is perfect for that too, except that you cannot use the pinching method.
5. Supplies
- Light Filter – Prevents premature curing during application.
- Glue coin Foils – Use colored foils for better visibility of clear adhesive
6. Extras
